[Ode to 2002]

Nice

Wow this was really cool I love this flavor I would have loved more build up from the start so it really has a kick in the build up, Rhythm thats what I will say with trhis piece here you gave it good rhythm, Really nice effort on this piece, it was a solid piece of quality and I really liked what you did with this piece, and would love to checkout more of your work soon. It will be Fascinating, Its always hard to find real unique and quality tracks but here with this one I found just that, you bring something different to the table.

Teck071 responds:

Thanks. Well the tune is released on my label so Im done with it. Maybe in future i'll make another tune to your specifications.

[Alien Temple]

Very nice

So I found this one to be interesting and you say its "EXPERIMENTAL" I find it to be a nice soft tune and I see you had a decent fade out then build up, but some louder tones in the build up would be nice, Here is a nice track to listen too, its a good tune and I have enjoyed it for what it is, now ofcourse there is always room for improvments but I will get to that later, but I do like the effort you have put into this so nice job there. And hope all good things come your way, So there was some nice work here, the effort has shown thru and while this review is ending here it was still a pleasure to have played this one.

BreadKing responds:

Hey X! Thank you for your words. I do agree that some louder tones would have been nice in my track, but while I was making this, I was trying to balance between soft and loud tones. Oh well, I can always improve in the future. Thank you very much for your critique :)

[blue, like the sky]

Very nice indeed

Wow this was really something special you have here you build it up very well and it runs smooth it was a good amount of time nothing short here but the sound quality is really good very crisp sounds comming from this piece this does have a dance feel or so it seems to me so all in all you need no improvments here it's a solid piece of work and I hope you make more soon

icantpronouncethis responds:

I dont know who you are or where you came from, but I'm truly grateful for your feedback on this tune. It was something I wanted to try out (the whole"randomize" rhythm part). There were some areas in the song that can be improved on, like the electric piano can be more in your face, but it was fun to play with this one.

[Cluster Bomb]

Cool

So I found this one to be interesting and different on all fronts it's creative and it is pretty heavy the metal is nice I do think adding some background sounds that come up now and then from a random instrament would be kind of cool I do like the flavor of this all it's a nice listen and do hope you keep making more just like this one keep it up

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for listening!

[Guppy's Quest OST 05 - Watching Clouds]

Very intense

Wow this was nice I found this piece to be very "INTENSE" that "PIANO" or board is really good you should really build it up and bring out the piano more but you seem to have done that, Not the Finest of the day but you had something very smooth, You have pushed fourth ideas and made this one interesting, So its almost time to end this review, and I dont wish to bore you any longer but just know I like my listen on this one today. And for me there is Immeasurable sounds like this, A nice track of sounds here with a mix of this and a mix of that, And those are just a few things that really drew me into this.

octopus58 responds:

Thank you very much X! That is actually a pluck in the background and not a piano but I agree I could have done a better job at bringing it out. I guess it'll all come with good practice :)

Thank you for all the kind words though and I am very glad you enjoyed, feedback always helps me out!

[Aphyllix - AntiMatter]

Wow nice

For some reason the start of it reminds me of a "ZELDA" theme but then it twists off into your own creation very nice and dark sound on this one, I wouldnt mind if half way it faded out and built back up with an intense vibe,
So I had a fun time with this track it gave me a lot of elements and some interesting things that just made the ecperience fun and thats what its all about so nice job, Alright so a nice sound a nice beat and nice track here it was unique in its own style of sounds and you bring that out and make it that unique tune that I like, but anyways I will stop babbling but I did enjoy this track.

Aphyllix responds:

Thanks! I know what you mean, though, good and bad, granted I didn't really think about the Zelda styled parts, but I see what you mean, thanks for the feedback! :)

Nice

So this was nice and has some really nice "GUITAR" atleast I think thats some guitar regardless it sounds really good and has some good quality about but my thing is that this should be longer more build ups even, besides that this was really solid work nice tune.

Remisser responds:

My dude this file was uploaded in 2003. I am now many computers removed from ever "improving" on this song lol

[Sea of Love Tears 「恋水の海」]

Really nice melody

Wow you are really talented the melody for one was pleasent and some solid flavor you push, I really love that "PIANO" too love the focus on that, I would try and ad some extra backround sounds maybe some soft ambient just as an idea, Alright so as to not bore you any longer I will end this review, but will say this was an interesting piece that caught my attention and really hope to hear more stuff like this especially if its yours so keep up the decent work and efforts, And well thats that I really enjoyed reviewing this and you really presented something very well here, I hope you keep making more stuff like this.

Tennon responds:

Yeah thats also my opinion

[Gear Head]

Nice mix

So there was a good mixture of sounds here like the piano at the start, and the "DRUMS" later thats a good build up I would love some more build up into a more intense vibe, There are some good and Fascinating things about this submission, sometimes Immeasurable but you found its Finest moment here on the portal, Love the originality of this it's a great great track! Keep up the good work you bring some nice emotion to this and make a style all your own I like the vibe this gives off and you really do put the effort into this one so nice work here on this one, keep at it.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Hey thanks much for such an in depth response. I really appreciate good feedback! I agree on the things that need improving. This is rather unorthodox and I figured some trance heads might be lukewarm on it for that. I’m guessing if I gave better build/brake and doubled the length of those sweet sections (what you called piano), it would probably be more accessible for trance fans. Some other things could be improved too.

All in all though, I’m super happy you had so many nice things to say about it as is. Back when I made this (over 10 years ago), I didn’t have the discipline to keep to a more classic trance formula and now I don't want to change it too too much since I personally like how unique and off the wall it is. Also there's the issue of time. I’d love to really tune this piece up but with so many albums to polish and post before the end of the year (over 16 and counting), it’ll have to wait awhile. All that missing build brake is loads of little things that take me time the way I work (note by note). Thanks again! :)

[Pretentious]

Love the guitar

Wow I am in love with the "GUITAR" in this piece the "VOICE" and lyrics are pretty good too I think some higher pitced points in the voice along with high end strings might be a good build up point, So that was a decent tune you had in here, Some things could be better I thought but overall I found it to be an interesting tune, and would love to hear more stuff of yours in the near future, but anyways I had a good time with this one, it was a nifty track here, Great work with this, I normally admire anyone willing to do something different, its different but thats what I have come to love about it.

dude2312 responds:

Hey, XwaynecoltX thanks for checking my song! It was something totally different than what I normally do. I appreciate your constructive criticism as well!

Feel free to message me so we can talk more about these high pitched points in the voice. I could use those in new songs!
